Ms. MWI International - "The
Premiere Pageant for Women Over 35" - presents its international pageant Aug.
4-9 at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in downtown Niagara Falls. As part
of the weeklong celebration, contestants will spend time in the Village of
Lewiston on Monday. They will make a stop in the business district and pay a
special visit to the residents at Our Lady of Peace nursing home.

The Ms. MWI International website
states the organization exists to champion "today's woman," that person "who is
comfortable in her own shoes; the woman who knows who she is and is not defined
by labels." The mission, then, is to "promote, inspire and empower all women to
develop and utilize their strengths and inner qualities. These are the foundations
and qualities that each woman imprints on the world."

"Delegates are judged on interview,
haute couture fashion wear, evening gown and fitness," the site continues. "The
combination of all these elements, along with community service, makes the perfect
recipe for MWI International royalty. The evening's competition will end with an
on-stage (top five) question-(and-answer session), bringing the conclusion and highlight
to the crowning moment of MWI International."

While in Niagara County, the
contestants are slated to visit local shelters, spend time with sponsor
businesses and dine with local dignitaries and elected officials.

The semifinal will take place 5
p.m. Wednesday at the casino, 310 Fourth St. The finals are set for Thursday at
6:30 p.m.
